Build the Museum

Why

Communism is the deadliest ideology of the 20th century. The record of its hurt spans almost 100 years. Dozens of countries suffered under communism. From the Soviet Union’s Gulags to the Killing Fields of Cambodia, from China’s Great Leap Forward to Ukraine’s man-made famine and East Germany’s Berlin Wall. Marx and Lenin promised progress. But communism delivered fear and death.

Despite the historic record, most college professors don’t teach their students the reality of communism. But the world must not forget the crimes. Especially while communist regimes still dominate the lives of millions. We must tell the truth.

The International Museum on Communism will be a world-class museum in Washington, D.C. dedicated to memory and learning. The museum will keep archives for scholars and host exhibits for visitors and schoolchildren. By revealing the nature of this tyranny, we can help ensure the triumph of liberty.

The International Museum on Communism will seal the fate of communism forever.
